South Africa’s best:

Steel Structure Manufacturer and Engineering Company

As a leader in the steel structure industry, we have developed a reputation that cannot be matched. We focus on all our client’s needs and go above and beyond for every client by creating specific solutions to their needs. Warthog Engineering is based in Durban, South Africa

We have a highly specialised team that can assist you with design, fabrication and erection of steel structures. We service a wide variety of end users found in the following industries:

1. Steel Structure Design

When it comes to creating the design of your steel structure, our strength lies in our ability to grasp the requirements of each of our clients and design bespoke, custom solutions. Before starting, we like to go on site and investigate each detail. This includes investigating the site itself, soil type and environmental conditions that the steel structure will be exposed to. All of our designs go through an optimisation process whereby we optimise the structure to ensure that the manufacturing price is as low as possible while maintaining the integrity of the structure.

Collaborative craftsmanship and project planning

We include and work hand-in-hand with our clients to ensure that the project remains on track and flows seamlessly from beginning to end. This ensures that our clients are happy with the project from the time we put pen to paper, to the time we fabricate and erect. The aim of this process is to deliver a sustainable, cost-efficient structural solution that surpasses our client’s needs.

Innovative steel engineering

The engineers on our team have a thorough understanding of steel structures and the behavior of the materials given certain circumstances. With the use of modern computer software (CAD), structure modeling packages and building info modeling (BIM) allows for us to address and take into account rather troublesome site conditions, and possible interference from existing infrastructure that could hinder the integrity of the steel structure in the future.

Designing steel structures for tomorrow

When we work on your steel structure manufacturing project, our brilliant team of engineers and designers spend a large amount of time understanding and incorporating your ideas into something visible and sustainable. We also take into consideration the environmental conditions that the steel structure will perform best.

Through our turnkey solution, we advise our clients on ventilation, door access, insulation, natural lighting etc and trying to achieve the most effective building design. We look at the most effective use of area versus cost and help produce the most efficient design based on this.

2. Steel Structure Fabrication

Fabrication is an important part of the process and includes manufacturing the steelwork components, assemble these components in order to form the structure as a whole.

Planning for structural success

The strucutre can be part of our custom built solutions or could be part of our premade range. Wesource the steel from our local merchant and administer things such as protective coatings, bolts, and transportation.

Maximising efficiency

Our tooling and machinery allow huge time savings within our company which allows us to drastically reduce our lead times. Since inception, we have grown to double our size which allows us to rapidly fabricate and produce structures. We have also found methods of keeping our overheads low so that we can provide our clients with unbeatable price rates.

Our quality stamp guaranteed

Our workshop is fully equipped with machinery and the knowledge of many experienced, and loyal artisans that allow us to put a quality stamp on our products.

Every step of our production process is inspected and recorded to ensure that the project is fabricated to the best standards possible. We have perfected the process and balance of maintaining savings, efficiency, and quality. Our products are created with zero defects and are fabricated perfectly first time.

3. Steel Structure Erection

Our steel structure erection process consists of the assembly of steel parts on site in order to produce a finished project. We accurately lift and insert steel parts on site so close coordination is essential.

Dedicated to quality erection

We have a team of extremely experienced mobile steel structure erection teams that coordinate the project to ensure that structures in order to comply with standards. We are committed to safety and service on site. We do not negotiatiate safety for everyone on site, environmental and quality best practices, ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget.

The four main tasks of steel structure erection:

We go on site and ensure that the installed foundations are ready for a safe erection to begin the project.

Lifting and placing components into position with the use of cranes and other methods. Connections are then bolted together.

Aligning of the structure is of pivotal importance ensuring that the columns are leveled and correctly in place.

Bolting all connections properly to ensure that the connections are secure and rigid.

Warehouse Steel Structures

A huge portion of the steel structure market is the manufacturing of warehouse steel structures. Warehousing is a massive aspect of any business, being the preservation of products, warehouse steel structures have been seen to be one of the most effective additions to any company that needs to store and preserves any kind of product in any industry.

Steel structure warehouses have been proven to be the most affordable method of building these large structures and the strongest structures. There are numerous benefits of steel structures and have been adopted in schools, offices, hospitals and even homes.

A steel structure warehouse is a simple structure with massive versatility on the inside. A steel warehouse can be subdivided extremely easily to separate goods. Warehouse steel structures in South Africa are very versatile when it involves the function of the structure itself because it can be customised to suit each industry need.
